John (also known as Sean) Bacola has been with Summit DD since 2000, and served as an Intake IA 1 since 2020. Sean has also worked in the disabilities field in other roles including residential, respite, Special Olympics coach, and DSP to name a few.

Currently, Sean answers the MUI hotline, helps open MUIs in our systems, and helps with UI Logs and Annual Analyses.

“I had always been in direct care until the opportunity to join the MUI Department became available. When I joined MUI, I fully understood and appreciated the relationship between direct care and MUI, and how they both were essential to ensuring health and safety,” Bacola shared. “I hope to continue to bring my background to help educate, advocate and provide quality service to both providers and individuals,” he continued.

In his spare time, Sean enjoys camping, his four cats and spending time with his grandkids.
